We won’t lie to you: an expert in cybersecurity possesses a deep understanding of a wide range of interconnected aspects, including computer science, communications, the business world, and why not? global geopolitics, psychology and law. Moreover, it’s not enough to have superficial knowledge; one must master everything from the most basic concepts to the finest details. Acquiring this expertise is a task that demands many years of training, facing challenges in various disciplines, and staying up-to-date with the latest news.
If you want to make a place for yourself in the world of cybersecurity, save yourself a few years of effort by completing this University Diploma in Cybersecurity. In it, we compile the knowledge of various experts in different fields to offer you a structured curriculum to help you swiftly acquiring advanced cybersecurity concepts.
The diploma spans a broad spectrum of disciplines, ranging from cryptography to social engineering and from machine code to application design.
The teaching of the Diploma comprises 4 ECTS, distributed of theoretical and practical classes, hours of tutoring, and hours of hands-on practice. It will be taught in three months. We will work four different subject and do a final project.
Over the weeks duration, from November to February, each week will feature online class primarily focused on theoretical content, and we will have to in-person classes, typically practical.
Evaluation will be conducted through deliverable assignments and exams.
Non-presential theoretical classes will involve videos, reading materials, or tutorials to be viewed or developed at each individual’s pace. In practical classes, challenges or exercises will be presented to help solidify theoretical concepts and tackle realistic situations.
Marcos Cobo Carrillo:
“Enrolling in the cybersecurity expert course has been a great decision. In this course, I was able to delve into areas such as cryptography, threat identification, exploitation, and risk management, among others. The practical focus of the course allowed me to apply what I learned to real-life situations, which gave me the confidence to implement security measures in my job. Although some topics were challenging, the constant support from the professors made learning easier. Without a doubt, the course has improved the security approach in all my projects, and that’s why I recommend this course to any professional looking to strengthen their cybersecurity knowledge.”
Marcos Fernández Alonso:
“I had the opportunity to take the Cybersecurity program alongside my Computer Engineering degree, and I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my academic journey. This course not only helped me strengthen my security knowledge, but it also helped me refocus my career towards an area I am passionate about: application security. Thanks to this training, I now have a clearer and more security-oriented vision in my work, which, combined with my knowledge as a computer engineer, allows me to stand out from the rest. If you’re interested in diving deeper into the world of cybersecurity, whether to enhance your skills or specialize in a growing field, this course is an excellent choice.”
Alberto Moro Carrera:
“The expert course was very useful for my professional career. The combination of university professors and industry professionals is one of its best features, allowing for multiple perspectives and learning from professionals with diverse experiences. The course provides a comprehensive view of all the branches that cybersecurity covers, as it’s a fairly extensive field of knowledge, and it delves into all these branches in such a way that we can find which one we like the most to later develop it in the workplace. Personally, the knowledge I acquired has been directly useful in my job, both in terms of theory and practical application. The professors are always willing to help with the more complex parts and are very committed to ensuring we learn. In short, it’s a very positive course for those who want to learn about cybersecurity or improve their skills in the workplace.”
